I think the Accord is towable. What makes Honda transmission towable is they do not have a pan the oil drains into. There is enough movement or splashing of oil to keep everything well lubricated. None of the gears or clutches are engaged unless the engine is running. There is a mechanical gear change with reverse which is why you must walk the transmission thru each gear as Clay L described to ensure a full and complete disengagement.
I towed a 98 Accord for several years maybe 10,000 miles behind the RV along with the car being my daily driver. Your Accord, one generation younger, the transmission is very similar but with the addition of a fifth gear. I wore mine out at 215,000 miles. Second gear clutch was slipping and was starting to get a knock from the crank shaft area. Now driving a 2010 Accord and towing a 2005 CRV.
